Would be best to use a piece of Aluminium bar as a drift.
So the bar sits over its total diameter & presses it in evenly.

My engine is already in the car so it is less then optimal trying to get the brass insert in.

I have a 400 not a Cleveland but it should be the same.

I tapped on it pretty good with a socket but no go. I took a dremel with a barrel sander and made sure the inside surface was clean. I tried again, no go.

I was beginning to wonder if I need it.
